"Kaleidoscopic Vision" by Carol Arnold |
"The Art of the Quilt"
By STITCH
October through early December 2015
Gig Harbor Library
We'll also give a talk and trunk show:
"Art Quilt Techniques"
Oct. 10, 2015 / 1-2 p.m.
Gig Harbor Library
First, we laid out everything in the community room then pinned on labels and found poles or wooden rods to fit each quilt. Then began the tedious task of running fishing line through each pole and tying the ends to hooks that we hung from the light fixtures.
I love how the quilts seem to float over the books.

The photos above and below show some of the quilts in our 22"x33" challenge, in which we wanted to see how many different directions we could go within that size format with the quilts hanging vertically. We went in a lot of directions! There are 11 quilts in that challenge and we grouped them together near the front of the library.
Judi did the giant snail, above, and Carol did the fractured piece, below. Hope you enjoyed this little taste of the show, and I hope some of you can see it in person and come to our talk on Oct. 10. Note: The library will be closed Nov. 9-22.
Here's the library's website:

i 2 love how the quilts seem to float above the books like ideas might float up from inspiration in many forms, including the books! i spy some of your treasures afloat!
Oh, how beautiful they all are! I have participated a couple of times in the one our guild puts on... always a wonderful display! Hope you get lots of visitors to see them in person.
This exhibit is very impressive! The quilts look great hanging from the 'ceiling'! Clever idea using the 'tubes like that.
